Mads having a well deserved day off on his birthday and celebrating with a football game tonight. Many thanks to all the fans from all over the world posting the kind birthday greetings on social media.

We had a pleasure and honour to meet Mads Mikkelsen in Warsaw, while he was promoting his new movie Doctor Strange and also Rogue One, the public had a chance to ask him a few questions. Mads was interviewed by Anna Wendzikowska in Cinema City Arkadia, Warsaw, Poland.

“I should also confess that Mikkelsen’s performance was far and away my favorite here. The character has drawn some flak for being another underwhelming Marvel bad guy, but I saw him more as a glorified henchman doing the bidding of an amorphous demon-face that remains unseen until the movie’s climax; as such, he’s almost exactly what he should be, and often much more. As he demonstrated repeatedly in the films of Nicolas Winding Refn and in three seasons of Bryan Fuller’s TV series “Hannibal,” Mikkelsen is a master at being in on the joke while still delivering every line with imagination and feeling. He never condescends to his characters or to the audience, yet he’s often knowing and wry, even arch, a mix of performance traits that’s often hard to combine with any success. The peak of his performance is the scene where Strange trusses him up in some kind of medieval bondage suit, and he delivers a passionate monologue about his master’s glorious integrity, the Ancient One’s hypocrisy, and the fate of the universe, tears spilling over his circa 1970 David Bowie pansexual guyliner. He’s majestic: Pagliacci and Dr. Frank N. Furter in the body of a metrosexual Dane. “

As you probably know, the new ‘Doctor Strange‘ movie is in the movie theaters right now and there are three versions to choose from: a 2D, a 3D and an IMAX version.

Now is your chance to win a special limited edtion ‘Doctor Strange IMAX’ hoodie not available in the shops. And it’s even signed by Mads himself.

All you have to do is take a selfie with a ‘Doctor Strange IMAX’ ticket in your hand at the movie theater, post it on Instagram with the tag #DoctorStrangeIMAX.

REMEMBER! Please check in so we can see which movie theater you are at.

The competition runs through all of November. We will post the winner (picked by Mads) here on the blog and on the social media portfolio in the beginning of December. The lucky winner will receive the prize by mail before Christmas. Good luck!
